Between the French for anamorphic, mono and minor extras, the R1 for the DTS sound, the UK, Australia, and Holland from HKL for the anamorphic and featurette, and Deltamac for the original mono soundtrack with English subtitles.

Note that the Dolby 5.1 audio tracks on the UK, Holland, and Australia from HKL and the R1 release (even the mono track on said release which is just a downmix of the 5.1 track) are altered from the original. A Cantopop song by "Sam Hui" has been added in the first teahouse scene and sound effects are altered in the film. Fans might consider any of the other releases due to this.

CUTS:

R0 China- WA - No Cuts.

R1 America- Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment - No Cuts. Though the soundtrack has been tweaked:
-New musical score for one scene.
